Mr. Schwartz purchased a large amount of land in Florida with a business partner in the 60s.

The new venture was unsuccessful, and Mr. Schwartz ultimately bought out his partner, and brought in his son H. Gary Morse. H.

The community has gained increasing notice, as it has become one of the most powerful voting blocks in the nation. Mr. Morse is often referred to as the “Wizard of Oz”, because he controls the local newspaper and radio stations, and consequently, has a large influence on the community. However, he is rarely seen.
